Parts jumping off.

What causes parts at the launch pad to immediately "decouple" from the rest of a craft? I've never experienced this before when building parts. It's as if the part collision is causing it to jump off.

With KJR, that's usually because breakingForce and/or breakingTorque is set too low. Can be true without KJR too though.

I assume you mean "and shows as structural failure in the F3 log." If not, explain further?

This happened to me when I had a typo in a parameter of ModuleAnimateGeneric.

It must be the breakingForce/Torque then as the values were pretty low. Yes it was structural failures in the log file. It was funny watching it just crumble apart.
